The Best Way to Convert These FLAC Files to MP3 Files is to:

Make sure you have WinAMP installed on your computer with the FLAC library support plugin.

Find the output section and select it. This will be on the plugins screen.
Go to the null soft disk writer and select that. Click on confirm at the bottom of the screen.
Go to the directory and decide where to save the file. Make sure that it has a .wav extension.
Save the files you have created to the folder that you have selected.
Close this window and return to the WinAMP program.
From here, go to the folder you have saved the music in.
Select all the files in the folder; hold the shift key to do this. Once done, select the open option.
Press play and WinAMP will go through and decode all the FLAC files and turn them into wav files.
Switch WinAMP back to output so that it will play the files instead of decoding them again.
Now when you go to iTunes and will import these wav files from WinAMP.
Once imported, iTunes will convert them to iTunes files.
Remember to create a folder in iTunes to save the files to when importing them.
